Moooooooooose
My Dad sent me this, I figured considering I don't have much to post at the moment, this will do:
Often difficult to spot, and even harder to avoid, animals on the roadway create a serious driving hazard. If you drive in Northern Ontario, the possibility of meeting nature’s wildlife is present at every turn. In the North East Region in 2005, there were 1,225 collisions involving wildlife on the roadway (deer, moose and bear). Two people were killed in collisions involving moose (Temagami, Wawa).The OPP urge motorists to monitor their speed, particularly at night and avoid over driving the illumination of headlights. Scan the highway ahead as far as possible, with special attention to the fence lines - particularly at dusk and dawn. Roadside signs alert drivers to regular crossing areas but animals can venture from their regular trails and bound out onto the highways unexpectedly. If you see an animal, slow down and be prepared to stop - deer are fast moving and can jump into your path quickly. Although moose appear to be slow, their long stride has them covering great distances in a short period of time. Bears too, can move quickly and bolt into your path. It’s up to motorists to avoid the four-footed hazard.

What's the deal with the Lucenti brother's? Give us some gossip!
A moose, wow. I should have demanded one of these from the parental unit. I do like moose, nonetheless i have never been confronted by one driving on the freeway. Kangaroos, wombats, snakes, hitch-hikers, camels, bunyips, emus and pesky flocks of birds are boring. I think these are the only animals that have confronted my family while trecking across Australia. We may have seen a few deer recently. Crocodile Dundee saw a buffalo in the film. The only buffalo i've really had to deal with is the cheese type. A good buffalo mozzarella with fennel salad is rather good. Moose and bears now that would make my day far more interesting.
